In order to attract new customers, merchants will launch various activities from time to time, and it is common to become a brand VIP. This kind of treasure mother and ordinary consumers have encountered it, and now they exchange their identity information for baby products such as milk powder and diapers. According to the sharing of treasure moms, most of these babies who exchange birth certificates for milk powder are big brands, such as He Fei, Junlebao, Abbott, Mead Johnson and so on. Similar activities of exchanging birth certificates for maternal and child products are held online in official website and physical stores. The original birth certificate is required to be uploaded online, and the offline maternal and child store requires that the birth certificate be photographed, kept in copy or submitted.
Paying attention to privacy security is becoming a feature of people in today's society. Consumers will hesitate to hear information such as "ID card, birth certificate". Some treasure moms are worried that they will reveal their information, while others say that this practice is tricky. It seems that the business has lost a lot, but the actual business has won steadily. If consumers ask customer service or staff why they do this, their words are basically the same, such as the explanation of the brand; Record the participation of activities; In order to prevent Ma Bao from applying for milk powder repeatedly. However, in fact. This activity of providing personal identification information to unofficial institutions has many shortcomings:
1, the birth certificate is not only the proof of the child's identity, but also contains various identity information of the parents, such as name, address, age, nationality, etc. A piece of paper can collect information about many people. Milk powder or diapers can only be collected once, but personal information can be used for a lifetime.
2. When brands and maternal and infant stores obtain birth certificates, it is possible to use the information on birth certificates to seek more benefits for themselves. For example, businesses can accurately grasp the baby's age. Whenever children want to switch to milk or complementary food, early education or reading. At that time, the contact information left by receiving milk powder for free will be bombarded by various advertisements and sales promotion, which is also known as spam messages.
3. As an important document, the birth certificate has many functions: as a medical basis to prove the health status and natural conditions of people born in People's Republic of China (PRC) and China; Prove the blood relationship of the birth population; Enable infants to obtain health care services according to law; An important proof of the newborn's nationality; Need to use an account; Other matters that must be proved by birth medical certificate as valid proof. If you know the birth certificate information, you can't guarantee that your personal information and your child's personal information will be properly handled. There have been cases where the child's birth certificate number was repeated, which made it impossible to register, so there will be a lot more things to deal with at this time.
4. In the milk powder products purchased at regular and regular prices, milk powder safety accidents occasionally occur. Such promotional milk powder products are naturally not 100% sure to be safe. When collecting milk powder, it is best to look at the production date and outer packaging of milk powder. If conditions permit, it is also recommended to check the authenticity and make sure it is better for the baby. Parents can pay attention to their children's performance when eating milk powder. If the child can't eat this milk powder, parents don't have to feed the baby first, they can wait for a while. Parents should take their children to see a doctor in time if they eat milk powder or have abnormal reactions after eating milk powder. As for the remaining milk powder, you can save it first and claim compensation from the merchant if necessary.
Because there are many risks in registering a birth certificate to participate in milk powder activities, this promotion activity is also considered as a routine and scam for businesses to make profits. Finally, I want to emphasize that personal and family information should be carefully disclosed, especially to unofficial departments and institutions. Certificates containing important information, such as birth certificates, should not be easily lent to others. If a friend or relative borrows a certificate that is important to his family, it is best to refuse and ask the other party for the purpose of borrowing, and explain the importance of the certificate to the other party if necessary. If you realize that your or your child's private information is being used privately, you'd better ask the police for help in time to safeguard the interests of yourself and your family.
